Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Windows Server 2003, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) The vulnerability is caused due to an error when the SMB redirector receives a browser announcement frame and subsequently tries to run code that is paged out. This can be exploited to cause the system to crash by e.g. retrieving a large file from a network share when the system is under heavy load.
2) The vulnerability is caused due to an error where the printer driver under certain circumstances passes an invalid color adjustment object to Windows Server 2003. This can be exploited to cause the system to crash by a user through a terminal service session, where the user opens a Microsoft Word message in Microsoft Outlook and then prints the message to a network printer.
